I Admit It, I Have A Weakness For Fashion Brands, And The Release Of The 2008 Hermes Clipper H1 Diver Watch Does Not Help
What is a fashion watch? Well it can mean a couple of things, but in this instance it means a company that mostly makes clothes or other fashion accessories, and then embarks on releasing watches. The nicer the underlying brand, the more expensive the watch. French Hermes not new to this game, but in the last 10 years or so have stepped up their watch offerings. Releasing more mechanical watches along with a more masculine line.I have always been a fan of the Clipper line. The good-looking sports watch depicted numbers oriented toward the center of the watch, with well crafted bracelets and cases that are meant to remind you of clasps and metal patches on the company's signature leather work.

A Week On The Wrist: Hamilton Khaki Pioneer Pilot Automatic Chronograph
Hamilton introduced the Khaki Pioneer Pilot at Basel earlier this year as an homage to the brand's notable history in aviation watches.

Another iconic 70s watch from the brand, a dual register chronograph rocking a Valjoux 7733, was built for the RAF. This is the watch that provides direct lineage to the Khaki Pioneer Pilot, which retains nearly all the charm of the original. I spent a wee

Movement in ROO Diver - All the Same?
I'm new here and lusting after my first AP. I am interested in a Diver and curious to know if the movement in the earlier version 15703ST.OO.A002CA.01 CIRCA 2014 would have the same exact movement as the new 2017 version with the 18K Gold rotor. I'm asking this not only to know positively, but because I also was curious if it's possible to upgrade the earlier version to the Sapphire Exposition back? Is so, does anyone know approx how much this would cost and would AP Service perform this service? Thank you in advance!
